In collaboration with Weld Food Bank, the Mobile Food Pantry will be visiting the UNC campus community three times throughout the semester. The Mobile Food Pantry supports UNC community members (students and employees) by bringing healthy, fresh foods to those in need of food assistance. The Mobile Pantry provides guests with fresh produce, dairy, meat, bakery, and/or dry goods at no cost.
We are in need of volunteers to help support the process of ensuring our campus community is able to receive these goods provided by the Mobile Food Pantry. Below are the dates the Mobile Food Pantry will be on campus, as well as a link to volunteer for the events.

Bear Pantry at UNC
UNC's Bear Pantry is a collaborative initiative on campus to assist students in our community who are faced with food insecurity. Bear Pantry supplements the food supply for any UNC students experiencing hunger and struggling to buy food. Bear Pantry hopes to minimize food insecurity while students work toward completing their education.
Visiting The Pantry
Every UNC student, staff and faculty member is able to visit the pantry once per week and choose up to 7 items at no cost. Items available include non-perishables, perishables and personal hygiene products. There is no reservation required, simply stop by the pantry during open hours. Anyone with a current Bear ID Number is eligible.
